i read the article, which is from june '08. doesn't sound like a specific threat towards iavarone, but more like a peta crackpot who was threatening to do something if big brown was injured. why he feels the need now...maybe it makes him feel important.

AR whackos have murdered people before, committed arson, etc (ALF funded by PETA, for example). So it depends upon which AR whackos one is talking about, I guess, as to whether the threat is valid. No way to know.
"Following a segment on ESPN during last week’s Breeders’ Cup in which IEAH Stable co-president Mike Iavarone revealed a death threat against him and his family prior to the Belmont Stakes (gr. I), there have been widespread reports and internet comments casting doubt on Iavarone’s claim. That claim was confirmed Friday by the Nassau County Police Department." “A couple of days before the Belmont, an unsigned letter with obviously no return address was received by the Tallahassee Police Department in Tallahassee, Fla., which they faxed to us. It was postmarked June 3, 2008 to the Tallahassee Police and marked urgent. Inside was a totally unsigned letter that said someone is going up to the Belmont Stakes and is going to kill the owner and trainer of Big Brown -- and Big Brown was underlined -- if the horse gets hurt or killed, indicating it was probably an animal rights activist." "It ended by stating that no one is going to be safe there. The letter was forwarded to my detective squad. We had no way of validating the threat, but we already had a security detail in place, and because it was a specific threat against two specific individuals – the owner and the trainer – I re-deployed some of my detectives at this event, and we did in fact assign detectives to be in the area of the Iavarone family as well as the trainer of Big Brown.”
